Breeds
- Patterns: Better Horses features inter-breedable patterns. Not every breed of horse has the same patterns, but some do share coat patterns with other breeds. A list of patterns per-breed is [ Coming Soon ].
- Horse Handling: The Horse Handling feature makes Saddles and Harness important; Riding a horse without these is possible, but horses are much more responsive when a Harness or Saddle is equipped!
- Saddlebags [ Planned Feature ] The Saddlebags increase how many stacks your horses can carry.

- Carriages [ Planned Feature ]
